Breathing in fine air pollution particles may increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease, a new study has found.
Fine particles emitted from vehicles and burning wood are associated with inflammation in the body, which can lead to disease.
Parkinson’s disease is the fastest growing neurological disease in the world. Two percent of the population over 70 years of age are affected by this disease and this number may triple in the next two decades.
But it is believed that up to 20 percent of people with eczema develop symptoms before the age of 50.
According to neurologist Dr. An-Thu Wu, Parkinson’s disease was traditionally found in people over 60 years of age, but now it is increasing in younger people.
Now a team of American experts has said in their research that a possible reason for this may be the increase in air pollution.
